I got a Garmin watch recently and went a rabbit hole trying to recreate its data viz in ggplot. It's so different from making regular report/dashboard plots! Recreating things made with other technologies is a great way to learn! Link: mic-wypych.github.io/posts/garmin... #ggplot2 #dataviz #rstats

Got my first garmin and I'm fascinated by the #dataviz aspect of it. It never occured to me before how to fit an entire interactive plot on an 40mm display! I am 100% going to try and recreate that in #rstats

#Tidytuesday about roundabouts so I had to make a round plot. I tried to squeeze 3 plots in one. I didn't expect this dataset to be this fun! #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2 code: github.com/mic-wypych/t...

Why does writing R packages so often feel like performing some arcane rituals just to appease the cruel r cmd gods? If I got a dollar for every "no visible binding to global variable" or every hacky function to attach package suggested in dependencies... #rstats

Does anyone know of good extensions foe editing excel files that work in #positron? I tried excel viewer but it shows those weird notifications from wijmo. I'm trying to convince my colleagues to give it a try (they currently use Rstudio) and that would be a great thing for them. #rstats

Anyone had a similar issue after the latest positron update? I updated positron to the latest version and keep getting issues with extensions: "Some extensions are disabled due to version incompatibility". The extensions affected are e.g. Air so I guess they should be working? #rstats #postrion

Basketball #tidytuesday Adventures in {grid} part 2, tried to make a basketball court. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats | #dataviz | #ggplot2

only a week late to #Tidytuesday! I started learning {grid} and while it's great its. so. many. iterations. One thing I learned so far: always draw by hand before coding! #rstats | #dataviz | #ggplot2

#tidytuesday I looked at most active frog spotters and made a hopping cumulative plot. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

I just won a very unfair battle with {renv} and I'm really proud. Only had to reinstall R, add 4 system level dependencies and a few other things along the way... #rstats

Another #tidytuesday. I looked at inequality data for Poland from 1986 to 2023. This one was largely inspired by W.E.B. Du Bois. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... I love {ggforce} and the myriad options it opens. #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

I just got my copy of "Chart Art" for which I was super excited! The book arrived... but it's all in black and white. I'm not sure if the book is actually black and white (the reviews seems to suggest its not?) or sth is wrong with my copy? Has this happened to anyone? #dataviz #datavisualization

#tidytuesday Did shows on Netflix get longer with time? Not really but interestingly they cap at 60 hours with very few longer shows. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

#Tidytuesday I looked at categories of funding of British Library. Sadly, all of them are down in 2023 with the peak in funding in 2006. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats | #ggplot2 | #dataviz

#tidytuesday about colors from the xkcd color survey! Colors are always fun to work with. I looked at overlaps in descriptions of colors given by participants of the survey. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

This #Tidytuesday I looked at weekly gasoline prices in EU and US and the 2014 and 2022 invasions by Russia. Data for EU grabbed from EU weekly oil bulletin If you want to support Ukraine and brush up some data skills consider Workshops for Ukraine by @dariia.bsky.social! #ggplot2 #dataviz #rstats

For this #TidyTuesday I made an animation showing measles lab confirmed cases per 100k in EU. Animation with {gganimate}, legend added with weird {magick} tricks. I'm not fully satisfied with this one, working with animations is tough! code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

#tidytuesday week 24 I was curious about most common licenses used in the APIs, their categories and providers. Made simple plots but wanted to combine them together. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

#tidytuesday week 23. I looked at judge appointments by US presidents and parties. The record goes to Reagan with 387 nominations (both terms). Data with beginning and end of term for each president are from Kaggle US presidents dataset. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

#tidytuesday, this time about the gutenberg project! I looked at coauthors - what are the age differences and what are the most common collections of coauthored books. For me this one was a lot more about wrangling the data than making a plot. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #dataviz #rstats

Hello #StatsSky, do you know of good resources on sensitivity analyses? Would be perfect if they are in #rstats. I know a few like the {tipr} , {EValue} or {sensemakr} packages but it feels a bit scattered and I feel a bit lost. I'm looking for something more comprehensive

I made a #shiny app! It allows you to check mean wages across a number of years at county level in Poland. A few minor tweaks are left to do but it works! Sorry to any non-Polish speakers, it's in Polish for now. link: micwypych-guswages.share.connect.posit.cloud #rstats #dataviz

This #Tidytuesday is about the 2025 #UseR conference! I made a simple interactive plotly schedule for the event. You can browse the talks and look up the dates, times, speakers and abstracts. Working version: mic-wypych.github.io/user2025_sch... code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz

Made my first #quarto extension with #Typst! Does anyone know how to store a quarto extension (and use it in a team) if I can't put it as a public repo on github? Ideally it would still be in version control (e.g. can I keep it on private github repo and push as zip to some google drive?) #rstats

Little late to #tidytuesday. This time I made a simple ggiraph that shows ranks of each state in various waiting time measures. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz

This week in #Tidytuesday I'm looking at top 5 ranked Pokemons in attack, defense and HP across generations. Defense and HP are way more stable than attack! It was fun thinking how to work on the generations to make this plot. code: github.com/mic-wypych/t... #rstats #dataviz #ggplot2

Does anyone know of good materials on suppression from #causalinference perspective? Papers about suppression usually say only about predictive power. And I think some of the stuff in McElreath's lectures (esp. lecture 6) suggests adding suppressors would bias stuff? I'm confused #rstats #stats

Simple #tidytuesday week 5: it's donuts! 🍩 Donut chart of Simpsons: who spoke the most words. #Dataviz in #rstats code: github.com/mic-wypych/t...

Today's accidents in #rstats #ggplot2 #dataviz

Really liked the week 46 #TidyTuesday data so I made another one, this time focusing on regime changes on various continents in each decade. I was initally really excited about this but ultimately I feel it just shows how much missing data there is, especially in Africa #rstats #Dataviz

Catching up on previous #TidyTuesday week 45 I looked at suffrage vs having women as a president in countries with presidential political system. I think it's actually the first time I used {geomtextpath}! #rstats #ggplot2 code: github.com/mic-wypych/t...
